I would like to accomplish a mission where a given terminal date is opened, send information and activate a mission task ... some of you have an example?

Place your data terminal (things/military)

Then, in init field of the object:

  

MGITerminal1 = this;
[MGITerminal1,"red","orange","green"] call BIS_fnc_dataTerminalColor;
MGITerminal1 addAction ["Activate terminal",{
 MGITerminal1 removeAction (_this select 2);
 MGITerminal1 spawn {
   [_this,3] call BIS_fnc_dataTerminalAnimate;
   sleep 10;
   firstTask = ["task0", true, ["Description here","Title here",""],nil, "ASSIGNED", 0, true, true,"",true] call BIS_fnc_setTask;
  [MGITerminal1,0] call BIS_fnc_dataTerminalAnimate
 }
}];

@pierremgi the second parameter (number) is for the color correct? (BIS_fnc_dataTerminalAnimate)

no , the phase of animation. 3 t o open, 0 to close it. Applied to 3 sources: lock_source, sesame_source, antenna_source. I don't have more details than what is written in the function viewer.

Okay here's what I found out: The number's not the color but the animtaion state with which the color changes as well

 

Spoiler

SvCM1pd.jpg

0: Closed

 

 

D0Z7zma.jpg

1: Open, no antenna, first screen some text, second screen empty

 

 

xt6EtMa.jpg

2: Open, antenna extended, first screen text, second screen empty

 

 

 DF5HHJI.jpg

3: Open, both screens (second screen animated), antenna deployed

 

Function:

Spoiler 

//--- A script function for animating "Land_DataTerminal_01_F"
//--- To open terminal: [box, 3] call BIS_fnc_DataTerminalAnimate
//--- To close terminal: [box, 0] call BIS_fnc_DataTerminalAnimate

if !(_this isEqualTypeParams [objNull, 0]) exitWith
{
	["Required format: [<dataTerminalObject>, <animationPhase>]"] call BIS_fnc_error;
	nil
};

params ["_obj", "_phase"];

_obj animateSource ["Lock_source", _phase];
_obj animateSource ["Sesame_source", _phase];
_obj animateSource ["Antenna_source", _phase];

If you want to change the color you can use BIS_fnc_DataTerminalColor: 

[termimnal, color1, color2, color3] call BIS_fnc_DataTerminalColor;

terminal: object

color1: Closed color (phase 0)

color2: processing color (while deploying)

color3: deployed color (only in final phase (3))

Color can be: "blue", "orange", "green", "red", "purple"

 

Function:

Spoiler 

private ["_dataTerminal", "_color1", "_color2", "_color3"];

_dataTerminal = [_this, 0, objNull, [objNull]] call BIS_fnc_param;
_color1 = [_this, 1, "undefined", ["string"]] call BIS_fnc_param;
_color2 = [_this, 2, "undefined", ["string"]] call BIS_fnc_param;
_color3 = [_this, 3, "undefined", ["string"]] call BIS_fnc_param;

if (isNull(_dataTerminal)) then
{
	false
}
else
{
	switch (toLower _color1) do
	{

Gotcha, the params confused me at first.

Wow, interesting observation. Wouldn't have known the different colors for each phase. I would only assume the final color would be just in one RGBA or RGB format.

OK, if I put the script in the data object's init field, I would be able to activate it. But what should I use as a condition for a task state 'success' (task completed)? :) That would be a script that checks if the data is sent or the device is activated. :)
